Wrinkle Reduction

At Face Forme, we provide personalised consultations to explore options for managing fine lines, wrinkles, and other concerns that may be associated with muscle activity. During your consultation, our practitioners will carefully assess your unique facial anatomy, skin concerns, and goals before advising whether a wrinkle-reducing treatment is appropriate for you. Our priority is ensuring you feel fully informed, comfortable, and confident before deciding if wrinkle-reducing treatments are right for you.

Our obligation-free consultations provide an opportunity to:

  • Learn how repeated muscle movement can contribute to lines and wrinkles over time.

  • Explore potential approaches that may help soften or prevent these lines.

  • Understand how treatments may also be considered for concerns such as asymmetry, droopiness, muscle tension, or excessive perspiration.

  • Discuss facial balance, including options to refine, lift or subtly contour certain muscle groups.

  • Review possible benefits such as muscle relaxation to ease tension and restore harmony.

  • Ask questions openly and receive honest, personalised advice.

  • Discuss risks, contraindications, your medical history, and whether wrinkle-reducing treatments may be suitable for you

Areas of treatment:

  • Soften lines seen when raising eyebrows and prevent makeup sitting in them. 

  • Soften lines between the eyebrows. Also known as “eleven line” treatment.

  • Soften lines around the eyes. Also known as “smile line” treatment.

  • Smooth the sometimes prominent “jelly roll” beneath the eyes.

  • Subtly raise brow height for a more open appearance of the eyes. This treatment is helpful for correcting common brow asymmetries.

  • Soften the lines on the sides of the nose that occur when scrunching the nose or smiling.

  • Soften barcode style lines above the lip.

  • Otherwise known as a lip flip, this treatment gently everts the top lip so more of it is seen when animating or smiling.

  • Relax the muscle found in the corners of the mouth upwards to prevent a permanently sad or “scowling” expression.

  • Reduce excessive sweating from hands, feet and underarms.

  • Relax the top lip downwards so upper gums are no longer exposed when smiling.

  • Relax the tip of the nose upwards and prevents nasal flaring.

  • Subtly lengthen a short chin and smooth the orange peel appearance of strong chins. 

  • Otherwise known as the Nefertiti neck lift, platysmal band treatment can soften the downwards pull on jowls, thus redefining the elegant contours of the neck for a youthful, tighter appearance.

  • Slim the masseter muscle to give a more feminine, v-shaped appearance to the lower face.

  • Prevent teeth grinding and jaw clenching.

  • May be combined with masseter slimming treatment to treat tension headaches resulting from overuse of these muscles.

  • Relax tight muscles that connect from your neck to shoulders. Also referred to as “swan-neck” treatment, slimming this muscle can create a longer, more elegant neckline. Where one trapezius muscle sits higher than the other, this treatment may also restore symmetry.

  • Slim excessively strong calf muscles, resulting in a more feminine contour of the area.

  • Intranasal administration can prevent medication resistant symptoms of hay fever.

FAQ’s

  • Welcome! It is not necessary to book a separate consultation in addition to treatment time. Each appointment is flexible and includes ample consultation time. Of course, if you are unsure and would like some time to think your options over before proceeding, you are more than welcome to book in for a no obligation consultation.

  • Due to Australian regulations, we are unable to advertise or name specific prescription-only medications online. During your consultation, our practitioners will assess your needs and discuss which wrinkle-reducing options may be suitable for you. All product information, including brand names, can only be provided in a private consultation once suitability has been established.

  • ​Each anti-wrinkle appointment takes approximately 30 minutes including consultation time. The actual injecting component merely takes a few seconds or minutes depending on the area being treated. Please allow approximately 45 minutes due to the unpredictable nature of medical appointments.

  • Treatment takes up to 2 weeks to take full effect, although many patients notice results within 1-4 days. In some individuals, some parts of their treated muscles will relax quicker than others, so it is important to give the treatment a full 2 weeks to settle in before any review or tweak maybe conducted. Once treatment is at its full effect, patients should appear fresher, better rested, and with less dynamic lines.

  • ​Depending on the dose and individual, anti-wrinkle treatment may last, on average, up to 3-4 months. Small, light doses will wear off quicker. Once the product has worn off, your muscles will return to normal with no lasting effects.

  • ​Almost all patients feel comfortable to resume regular activities immediately post treatment. In some instances, there may be a few small, potentially raised, pink, pin-prick marks for a few hours post treatment. It is relatively uncommon to bruise or swell from anti-wrinkle treatments, although always possible. If you bruise easily, you may be at higher risk of bruising. If bruising does occur around the eyes, it may take a week or more to completely heal. Therefore, it is recommended treatment is conducted at least a few weeks before any important events. The risk of bruising may be lessened by avoiding blood-thinning vitamins, medications and foods for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment. Vigorous exercise, caffeine and alcohol should also be avoided for 24 hours prior to and post treatment.

  • ​Anti-wrinkle has been safely used for many years. As with any medical procedure, anti-wrinkle treatments may present rare, but possible side-effects. In most instances these risks are temporary and limited to redness, swelling or bruising at the site of injection. Rarely, flu like symptoms, headache, botulism or difficulty swallowing can occur. If antiwrinkle is injected or spread into the wrong muscle, it may cause temporary asymmetry, ptosis or drooping. In many instances, these unwanted side-effects can be corrected at the 2-week mark by manipulating other muscles in the area. Left untreated, any unwanted side-effects should wear off on their own within weeks or months. It is extremely important to follow all pre- and post-care instruction to avoid unwanted side-effects. All potential risks and side-effects are discussed in detail during each appointment.

    • It is preferable you attend your appointment make-up free. If this is not possible, makeup in the targeted areas will be removed by our practitioners prior to treatment. 

    • If you wish to minimise your chances of bruising, it is also recommended that, were medically suitable, you avoid blood thinning medications and vitamins for 1-2 weeks prior. You should also avoid alcohol and caffeine in the preceding 24 hours and not partake in any heat inducing activities, such as heavy workouts, the day of treatment.

    • ​Remain upright for 4-6 hours post treatment.

    • Avoid any heat-inducing activities for 24hrs post treatment. These include intense exercise, steam rooms, saunas, spas.

    • Avoid makeup for 24 hours post treatment.

    • Avoid placing any pressure on treated areas for 3-5 days post treatment. This includes vigorously rubbing or massaging the area, brow or lash appointments which may require the technician to lean on the area, face-down massage etc.

    • Avoid tattooing, lasers or invasive facials for 2-weeks post treatment.

  • Almost all patients find anti-wrinkle treatments very comfortable. Depending on your own pain tolerance, some gentle pinches or small pricks may be felt but the treatment is very quick, and for the most part, very tolerable. Numbing cream may be used at request, but almost all patients find this unnecessary.

  • Of course! Cosmetic Nurse Jana specialises in treating nervous patients and has many techniques to ensure your complete comfort. Please make sure you have a big meal prior to treatment.

  • ​Cosmetic Nurse Jana has many clients fly interstate to see her. Generally, she prefers patients to avoid flying for 48 hours post treatment and to be available for a 2-week review if needed.

  • Anyone under 18, pregnant or breast-feeding women, anyone who has been unwell or is undergoing vaccinations, dental work or facial surgery 2 weeks either side of their appointment. This list is not exhaustive, and it is the patient’s obligation to inform the practitioner of all medical issues and medications. All patients are consulted with a doctor prior to treatment where any individual medical issues or potential contraindications can be discussed.

  • Due to Australian TGA regulations, we are unable to publish specific prices for cosmetic medicine treatments online. Treatment costs can only be discussed following a personalised consultation, where your individual needs and suitability are assessed. This legislation, introduced in 2024, has changed the way cosmetic practitioners may advertise and communicate treatment information. We understand this may feel inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding as we uphold these compliance requirements while continuing to prioritise transparency, safety, and patient care.
